Message: <blockquote data-quote="Glyfair" data-source="post: 3455964" data-attributes="member: 53">I think it comes down to one basic principle.  Many players tend not to play stats they feel are too low.  A significant group of players either ignore the character (often when players roll up PCs at home), badger the DM to let them reroll or modify the character, suicide the character, or drop out of the game (often because the DM is "unreasonable.")I think what I call the "jackpot" syndrome is more common than many here admit.  By this I mean players who prefer the random generation methods because they expect to beat the average.  They want the characters with 4 stats above 15, and are willing to roll the dice to get them.  Many (if not most) of these players expect they'll be able to avoid the subpar results in some fashion.  They are rolling the dice to "hit the jackpot."</blockquote>
